Lets abolish all castes
by prasanna kumar on Apr 30, 2007 11:06 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

I see a lot of people feel that they would get a better status if they are from upper castes or brahmins. In reality this is not true, these are myths which are propogated by political parties for votes. Anyways since people are not willing to accept realities, there is only way... lets abolish all the castes in hindu religion... we will then be left with only two castes the have's and have not's;

whatever progress we made ,is in spite of reservation..brahminism, if u understand truly, is a way of life...anyone who adopts it is a brahmin...i was borne in brahmin family,,but i was not told to observe any casteism, non-touchability or any such things., i hardly visit a temple (am not proud of this but that is the way it is)...reservation was meant to be abolished after a certain period but only en-bloc voting and congress policies have kept it alive...if we did not have such third rate leaders, we would have been world leaders today..but as things stand, we r just pretenders to the throne..our weakness is from within..our society is divided, ruled by hatred..just venture out in mumbai on ambedkar jayanti and see the hooliganism that goes on..is this what ambedkar taught the dalits? if society had certain customs which were wrong, how can u practise the same in a reverse way,,naming it reservation? reservation is just trying to create brahmins out of dalits, if u know what i mean.
reservation, if any, should only be on the basis of economic factors and we should ensure that all bright and talented people get due opportunities...
then only we have some hope as a nation..even otherwise, the so called brahmins are all doing well as they have learnt to cope with reservation by scoring excellent marks, by focusing on education, by providing for their children and eventually settling them abroad in western societies where talent alone matters..

do u think america would have progressed if they had reservations for blacks?

US is having reservation for blacks. the system is called "affirmative actions". kindly read american history. They have done it so systematically that, the whites are taking pride in their black countrymans. regards.

They want to make churches in hinduism, which will be taken over by the powerful politicians.
